I love the ease of use that the Kinect provides the Xbox One. It's so awesome being able to to power up the console and without even touching the controller or navigating through any menus, you can tell it to load up a game or app. I can be in the kitchen rummaging for food while setting everything up. Plus if I'm in the middle of a game and can't pause, it's quick and simple to snap another program like Xbox Music seamlessly (My only hope in the future is that they fix XBM so that you can navigate playlists without having to make it go fullscreen. I stream directly from my PC and that's over 60,000 songs, so I don't want to just run everything at once. 360 could do it quick and easy from the guide menu, so I imagine it's in the works.

You state how amazing Kinect is, but list several applications where it doesn't work that great...

hmmmm

Except they do work well? I don't understand your complaint.

Yea don't understand it ether. Never have had a problem with it using Netflix or watching tv. Maybe have to repeat every once In a while---I'm a Proud Xbox One Owner :)Microsoft will never sell the Xbox One without Kinect!
